Don't do that to your TSX. Buy a Pontiac for that kind of crap.
-Two reasons why the TSX will not work well as a drift car-
1. Drift cars are typically rear wheel drive, the TSX is front wheel drive. Drifting requires excess power to the rear wheels capable of overcoming the friction of the tires on the pavement. A 4 cylinder TSX is a poor choice for a drifting car due to the lack of torque from the engine. You need at least a 6 or 8 cylinder engine, or a super-tricked out 4 cylinder engine to get enough torque. (Don't forget rear-wheel drive works best for drifting) A better choice might be a Lexus GS 400; 8 cylinder, rear wheel drive.
2. In order to lock up the rear wheels with the emergency brake, it has to be a very strong e-brake. The design of the rear calipers mechanically activates the standard brake pads which will always be less effective than with the hydraulic brake system. The e-brake design of the TSX is only to keep the car from moving when already stopped on a hill, or to gradually slow the car to a stop should your hydraulic brake system fail. Also, the anti-lock braking system of the TSX helps limit the possibility of locking the rear wheels to go into a slide. (Thus the name ANTI-LOCK BRAKES)

Your brake lights on your 2002 Acura RSX arent working but your tail lights are?
The brake lights and tail lights are separate wiring systems. Even some of the bulbs may have two separate bulbs in the same glass housing. If the bulbs are in fact working, then the next step would be to test the brake switch under the dash. When you depress the brake pedal the switch is pushed creating a connection to turn on the brake lights.

Check to make sure the brake lights are working when the dash lights don't - usually it's a fuse in the brake light circuit.Om both of these, it is a tedious job not ot mess something up while working in the printed circuits etc. I suggest taking it ot a garage.
